Hmmm ... Think he was referring to 15 kn wind speed.
At 13.8, where's the quarter wave on a displacement hull? Even surfing, I'd think you're ready to fall into a &^%* big hole!

Man, you ARE a rock star! That's probably exceeding hull speed by 2.5X and not easy to maintain on a displacement hull design! Best I ever saw on the Evelyn was 13.8 and that was with the Too Big Kite up in a puffy little squall. Chris D was there I think. Over 10kn in the Hunter I'd be nervous as a red fox in a beagle bin. 15 kn in a Hunter, I salute you!!! tf unless maybe it was Hunter's Child????? Rudolph S.
